OPiWin - stretch testing


t-bob

Recommended Posts

i've built and started testing stretch ... it mostly looks pretty good with these issues found so far

 

lircd - goes wild. systemd goes to 100% cpu
   it need to be blacklisted or the like. stopping/disabling it didnt work. i need to remove it to stop the cpu usage problem

install python-wheel as default package as pip breaks without it

 

eth0 has gone but seems to be a known issue

and I see that hdmi has made progress (by smaeul)

the hdmi part of linux doesnt work yet so you'll see the part of the booting up process and then nothing. we dont have an eta on hdmi working yet :(

 

buy a usb-ttl device and hook that to the serial connection

 

the ethernet port may not work either as they have pulled support for that for the moment. wifi only :(

Seems like it answers the question: 

"The second is dwmac-sun8i, this a glue to the stmmac driver. You can find the latest version at https://github.com/montjoie/linux/tree/dwmac-sun8i-current

This driver is mainline, but DT was reverted in 4.13-rc7. DT should be back soon."

What exactly need to be done? Can java back-end developer with minimum c and kernel skills help in any way? :)

I had a play with reverting the DTS files but with no luck. I expect there may be some u-boot changes that need to be added given that it doesnt find it on boot either. It complained about pinctrl I think.

 

        cp /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-a64-orangepi-win.dtb /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-a64-orangepi-win.dtb.orig
        dtc -I dtb -O dts -o /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-a64-orangepi-win.dts /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-a64-orangepi-win.dtb
        vi +/ethernet /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-a64-orangepi-win.dts
        dtc -I dts -O dtb -o /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-a64-orangepi-win.dtb /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-a64-orangepi-win.dts
